Macquarie investments

Which would be the better investment, Macquarie shares or the new Capital Notes 2 ?

A: They are two very, very different investments.

Macquarie Capital Notes are more like a fixed interest security than a share. There is no potential for capital growth. You cannot get back more than the $100 you pay for the Note.

If your objective is income, then Macquarie Capital Notes.

If your objective is capital growth, then Macquarie Ordinary shares.

Both have downside risk, but in all likelihood, your price risk on Macquarie Capital Notes is lower than on ordinary Macquarie Shares.
